Thank you to everyone who helped make The New York Bike-Share Project 2008 not only a reality but a rousing success!
Over our four days (we prematurely canceled yesterday because of the forecast for rain and thunderstorms) we spoke to countless people and “shared” over 200 rides!
None of this would have been possible without the help of our sponsors and partners, all noted on the sidebar of our website here, but we also wanted to be sure to thank every one of our supervisors and volunteers we were unable to name at last night’s reception:
Thank you Nicole S., Abe P., Sarah T., Julian F., and Meredith L. for supervising our stations. You were the public face of our project and you all did wonderful jobs.
Thanks also to our army of volunteers: Aaron K., Alex S. (who submitted some wonderful pictures as well!), Alicia S., Amanda Y., Anne H., Anne P., Betty-Ann M., Christopher J., Dan D., Danya S., David Y., Eileigh D., Eryn R., Gabriela A., Gina K., James H., Janice Z., Jenifer C., Jon K., Hana S., Hilary N., Kasia N., Katie L., Laura A., Laura G., Lindsay A., Lindsi S., Macgregor H., Marian L., Naomi D., Patrick H., Peter W., Rebecca W., Rich C., Sam M., Stacey P., Stefan T., Tyler C., and Yelena Z. (Phew!) You were all tireless in your enthusiasm and we greatly appreciate your devotion to our cause.
We hope that the city of New York will take it from here and encourage all of you who have been following the progress of our project, or who have stopped by to share words of support, to encourage your elected officials to make a permanent bike-sharing system here a priority.
